The original Spyderco® Matriarch was inspired by a request from their South African distributor for a more economical version of the Civilian. The Matriarch 2 is the latest expression of that concept, combining the Civilian's aggressive blade shape and Reverse "S" edge profile with the lightweight handle construction of the best-selling Endura 4. The result is a knife that provides extreme cutting performance in a convenient, lightweight package. Its SpyderEdge VG-10 stainless steel blade is scientifically designed to maximize cutting performance and its sturdy back lock mechanism, four-position clip, and Trademark Round Hole ensure unmatched carry versatility and high-speed deployment with either hand. Offering completely ambidextrous operation, the Matriarch2 features a four-position clip, a sturdy back lock mechanism, skeletonized stainless steel liners, and a Bi-Directional-Textured fiberglass-reinforced-nylon handle.
